Interview Round 2 | LLD Round
Questions:
- One LLD question based on LFU cache.
Candidate's Approach
This round was challenging. I was asked to replicate a popular cache design as an end-to-end product, implementing various eviction policies and DTO mappers for operational interfaces. I figured out the logic and explained the working, but due to time constraints, I could only implement a barebone design. The interviewer seemed satisfied with the logic but I was disappointed that the design wasn't fully implemented.
